When he sings the mid to end sections in the high notes-which he doesn't do in the studio recording-gives me shivers. The best cover of this song and best version of this song of all versions 😍😍😍👏👏👏
When people were not standing with their phones all the time, but actually enjoying live music. I saw Placebo in 2007, and it was a great experience, and a better world.
The last time Placebo played in Manchester, they wouldn't start until every camera was off. Then, every time anyone turned one on, the band stopped and the person was kicked out. Awesome show.
The crowd literally stops moving and just stares in awe ! I’m so jealous I wish I would’ve been there!!! Bryan put his heart, soul, body and blood into this performance
Ridiculously amazing how a song can bring you back to a specific point in your life. Miss the music and time. And if I could only make a deal with god to swap our places...
The thing I like best about Placebo's live performances is that they always use a simple stage setup. No gimmicks just playing on stage and rocking out.
It’s his voice, I believe him.keyboard is wonderfully haunting, and the drums, it’s that solid thump of your heart running up a hill. It’s the best version of the song, with all due respect.
my favorite version of this song...3:22 "And if I only could, Make a deal with God, And get him to swap our places, Be running up that road, Be running up that hill, With no problems."
I still miss my Dad every single minute of every single day. Not only that, I was in prison when he died & had to go to the funeral w/a CO. I kept waiting for him to sit up & say "It was all a joke, I just wanted my daughter to straighten up", but of course, that's not the way it works. When I lost my Mom. Life goes on, but it sucks without my parents. It never ever occurred to me that they would ever be gone, so it was quite a shock. Thanks for the post-appreciate it very much!
As much as I love the original I also love how this is slowed down. I think it gives a new dimension to the song. And when you reflect on the lyrcis it has a certain sadness to it. That's what I love about Kate -- her lyrics were often simple but had such depth behind them.
Placebo version is something outstanding and flawless, it also makes me think of darkness and emptiness as I want to fall off while someone tries to hold me up. I don't know whether you noticed the most commendable and delicious thing over this song is the electronic part. It definitely sounds different from the album version but it deserves to be rated more and considered a masterpiece. Several people slam Placebo because of their manners, as they're not so polite and sincere. However it doesn't matter and my tip to you is to be more and more charmed by the rock/electro vibes they create and the strength of this original and quirky sound! I wonder if any of you could stick to my standpoint.
If only I could make a deal, It would be My Life for My Sons..who drowned last year in Dallas.. This is the first time I've heard this song....Its exactly right on point...
it's been 19 years since I wanted to swap places with my little sister, she had everything to live for, sadly she was a Prem baby and I would have gladly gave my own life for her to live.
i simply love it... i especially like the end with the resonating guitars, its so peaceful and orgasmic at the same time! Only the guy at 5:12 is like: WTF are they doing?! :D anyway i love you Placebo, now and till the moment of my last breath, youre my muse and a big inspiration to all of us!
this is probably the best recorded version of this cover and I've been coming to this upload for as long as it's been uploaded long live placebo queer love is radical love
I'm a big KaTe Bush fan and not a Placebo fan at all but I absolutely love this version, especially the intro. Few covers can do justice to a KB song and this is just one of 2 or 3 which I consider decent or (dare I say it?) exceptional. Gotta give credit where credit is due. ;)
I don't know how many enthustiastic comments I've left on this vid, but it just keeps taking me breath away. It might be their best performance EVER. I mean, at 3.20 I am just blown away, staring at my screen in pure amazment. I can't belive how it would have been to actually BE there...
Brian simply you are the best i can´t forget the last Friday when i saw you in live,simply thanks for all,you were fantastic thanks you are very human and sweetie thanks for all,and that eyes i can´t get you out of my head"
Are you deaf? Without Kate Bush they wouldn't be stood there singing the incredible lyrics SHE wrote and the life she gave to them. Placebo are the band I'd listen to if I were suicidal and were trying to convince myself to go through with it.
Calum Rhys Jones Obviously you're too much of a fanboy to familiarize yourself with personal preference . I didn't ask what band you'd listen to if you were suicidal , and quite frankly , I don't care.
I agree. Heard it on "The O.C." & played hell trying to find it. Thanks for posting this vid. Reminds me of my Dad. I lost him to brain cancer in 1994 & after he was gone, I tried to "make a deal with God, to get Him to swap us places".
i feel so much, god bless you will get control it because epilepsy there's no cure only control i got control of mine when i was 5 years but unfortunallity i still keep taking my medicines, but my ploblem is another one,it is caused by a genetical disease so it's not only epilepsy.
Lady Goth Dark The thing that causes me the most problems is lack of inteligensce, i just feel like im different, that i won't succed anything just because of my low iq.
A lot of you heard this song on the promo for this year's match, but I heard it back a few months ago, when they rebroadcasted WrestleMania XXV on NBC. They were doing a video package before the match highlights started, and this was a song they used.
It is a fallacy that covers can't better an original. It is, however, difficult to imagine that, in particular, the original Kate Bush version can be bettered. Her voice is just so unique, the arrangement so fitting. This cover, good though it is, if compared to the original, pales.

This is my favourite version of this song. Ever. So many artists have covered it in so many ways but this specific one is my absolute favourite.
Yep better than the original singer
More haunting!!!! Love it!!!
I just have to agree with you,
Our whole family have gone back and back to this particular video. Fortunate enough to be there it's just performed so stunningly beautiful.
Absolutely agree! I loved Kate Bush’s original but this one is definitely my top pick!!!
Who's listening this in 2021? What a great cover, what a great band 💖✨😍
I'm here in 2022, my countryman!

I agree on the 2022
It's August 28th 2022 and I cannot describe how this performance blows my mind. I'm just transported everytime.
this live performance is my personal favourite version of this song
+Ciobanu Bogdan I m not the only one thinking that then ! there is something special about it .. I cant tell what exactly ..
they feel it :D
he gives his heart and soul here, you can feel every word
They do á ğood jobs they should have dragged out the distortion make cuz the notes bend out lovely
it's even better than the audio
When he sings the mid to end sections in the high notes-which he doesn't do in the studio recording-gives me shivers. The best cover of this song and best version of this song of all versions 😍😍😍👏👏👏
When people were not standing with their phones all the time, but actually enjoying live music. I saw Placebo in 2007, and it was a great experience, and a better world.
I agree 100%
Steff R. fuck you 1998
The last time Placebo played in Manchester, they wouldn't start until every camera was off. Then, every time anyone turned one on, the band stopped and the person was kicked out. Awesome show.
I was at this performance! Everyone was in awe. What a sound!
The crowd literally stops moving and just stares in awe ! I’m so jealous I wish I would’ve been there!!! Bryan put his heart, soul, body and blood into this performance

AUG 12 Baby!! Such a great cover
Ridiculously amazing how a song can bring you back to a specific point in your life. Miss the music and time. And if I could only make a deal with god to swap our places...
He's got a unique voice.
He sounds like the lead singer of Live and the lead singer of Our Lady Peace combined. Good thing 🎶
You mentioned Ed Kowlaczyck, Live frontman and as Brian, a artist that gives everything on his performances
@@KareenBurgosPappas also the guy from pet shop boys. Sounds a lot like his voice in west end girls. I think he was influenced by that kind of music
Brian Molko is absolutely gorgeous. Period. Oh yeah, and this is a great cover.
The thing I like best about Placebo's live performances is that they always use a simple stage setup. No gimmicks just playing on stage and rocking out.
It’s his voice, I believe him.keyboard is wonderfully haunting, and the drums, it’s that solid thump of your heart running up a hill. It’s the best version of the song, with all due respect.
This is f***ing epic! Best version of this song ever!
my favorite version of this song...3:22
"And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems."
I love every part of this song ... but maaaaan, that feedback-laden guitar solo that starts around 4:30 ... that's just extra beautiful.
This song gives me goosebumps all over my body.
I already love two versions of this, but I love this, too!
Keine andere Coverversion kommt auch nur annähernd an diese heran! 🖤
Anyone else listen this great music in 2021 💗👌😊👍
This sounds sooo much better then the album version, like he put so much more emotion into it
I love the end with just the music. So AWESOME.
this performance is excellent
Insanely great live performance of this song
haven't heard this song for quite a while great music!!!!
Anyone listening in 2021

If this video get taken down one day, my life sure will be over

Download the video from youtube. There're many sites qhere you can do this.
Blast from the past and still amazing😍
amazing drum work
That live version is so good. Would have loved to be in that moment with everyone
That is the best feedback I have ever heard in a song, it's amazing how they just pull it off like that live.
never get bored of them.
What about now?
As much as I love the original I also love how this is slowed down. I think it gives a new dimension to the song. And when you reflect on the lyrcis it has a certain sadness to it. That's what I love about Kate -- her lyrics were often simple but had such depth behind them.

fretui medak I definetly do
1;46 sounds like a plea. There is such emotion in every concert. That's why I love them so.
If only I could make a deal, It would be My Life for My Sons..who drowned last year in Dallas.. This is the first time I've heard this song....Its exactly right on point...
+lynchote my condoleances!
+lynchote My heart is with you, there are no words
I agree for my wife to be we never made it up the hill
it's been 19 years since I wanted to swap places with my little sister, she had everything to live for, sadly she was a Prem baby and I would have gladly gave my own life for her to live.

This is one of the all-time great live performances. This version is a million times better than the original

PLACEBO ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
its a great thing to see a band preform just as good live as they sound on their CD's
What a band ! What a song ! Love you Brian ! Look forward to see you again in Montreal !
Still the best live cover of Kate Bush's masterpiece. The vocals on the chorus are simply amazing.
The vocals are terrible
Genialna koncertówka ;) pozdrowienia dla fanów PLACEBO ;)
Its not the singers, they are powerful on their own......its the song.....we all run up that hill...........
I was there. Best holiday of my life.
We all want old Placebo with Steve! :(
i simply love it... i especially like the end with the resonating guitars, its so peaceful and orgasmic at the same time! Only the guy at 5:12 is like: WTF are they doing?! :D anyway i love you Placebo, now and till the moment of my last breath, youre my muse and a big inspiration to all of us!
I love the live version more than the recorded one, there's so much more expression in this version :)
Beautifully Done!
Shawn and undertaker brought me here. And I l ove it!!
i think of Shawn Micheals everytime i hear this and his final match :_(
Same!!
Chills down my spine.
It was perfect promo/build up.
Such a passion in this song, incredible !!!
this is probably the best recorded version of this cover and I've been coming to this upload for as long as it's been uploaded long live placebo queer love is radical love
VOLTA PLACEBOOOOO!!!! PRECISO DE UM SHOW DE VOCÊS, NÃO AGUENTO MAIS ESPERAR!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I'm a big KaTe Bush fan and not a Placebo fan at all but I absolutely love this version, especially the intro. Few covers can do justice to a KB song and this is just one of 2 or 3 which I consider decent or (dare I say it?) exceptional. Gotta give credit where credit is due. ;)

Placebo gives me memories of driving around backroads at 2am with the windows down and the music cranked all the way up.
Like this better than the original
Este es un cover de calidad. Adaptaron perfectamente la canción a su estilo, la transformaron mejorándola incluso :)
Brian simply you are the best i can´t forget the last Friday when i saw you in live,simply thanks for all,you were fantastic thanks you are very human and sweetie thanks for all,and that eyes i can´t get you out of my head"
this is too beautiful to actually exist, like a platonic version of beauty, an unrepeatable standard
awesome live band, not like all the autotune crap going around!! kudos placebo!
*chills*
This is both the best cover of the song, and the best live performance of that cover. Brian's vocals and the amazing guitar sync so well.
Placebo did such a good job, they can call this song their own.
Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker brought me here. Amazing.
thumbs if HBK and taker brought you hear!
I love their performance, one of their best for me.
I hear this in 2012 and will hear it forever !
2:51 till the end - THIS IS MASTERPIECE
By Kate Bush
Booooo
anyone now? august 2019
Kate is lovely and her words are poetic
Interesting cover with great interpretation. Great song to deliver.
Best cover there is. 100x better than the original.
+JT84_456 And the live version itself is 100x better than the cover :D
a cover is just a cover,this is the original master mind :D
Are you deaf? Without Kate Bush they wouldn't be stood there singing the incredible lyrics SHE wrote and the life she gave to them. Placebo are the band I'd listen to if I were suicidal and were trying to convince myself to go through with it.
Calum Rhys Jones Obviously you're too much of a fanboy to familiarize yourself with personal preference . I didn't ask what band you'd listen to if you were suicidal , and quite frankly , I don't care.
well i like placebo and i am a very normal guy,today the emos suicidal are evolving to hipsters XD
Who's here after Stranger Things?? #max
scares the shit out of me like no other song has be for love it
I can hear this song forever...
i normaly disagree but this cover is the shit. better than the original
HBK vs Undertaker
Hell, Placebo is a legend and will be it forever. And this song too!
I've heard this song but I never knew the name. I'm glad I found it cuz I have liked it for along time.
Kate Bush/David Gilmour try that for A feeiling
undertaker is going to win (BY BY HBK U HAD A GOOD RUN
I agree. Heard it on "The O.C." & played hell trying to find it. Thanks for posting this vid. Reminds me of my Dad. I lost him to brain cancer in 1994 & after he was gone, I tried to "make a deal with God, to get Him to swap us places".
I freaking love this song! Best song I've heard in awhile!
If you only could make a deal with god, what would be your wish?
+Lady Goth Dark get rid of epilepsy, it's destroying me inside.
i feel so much, god bless you will get control it because epilepsy there's no cure only control i got control of mine when i was 5 years but unfortunallity i still keep taking my medicines, but my ploblem is another one,it is caused by a genetical disease so it's not only epilepsy.
Lady Goth Dark The thing that causes me the most problems is lack of inteligensce, i just feel like im different, that i won't succed anything just because of my low iq.
Go to Heaven and leave Earth.
world peace
better than original
I remember watching this - brilliant!
I'm hoping for The Streak to continue too, although both men are retiring soon, so I don't know who to cheer for!! I freakin' love them both!
Je préfère le live avec Bush en personne et David Gimour à la gratte!
Moi aussi.
Moi aussi.Ici c'est horrible..
Jean-Yves Maillard également👍👍👍👍
The lead singer is wearing mascara
Mmmm well, of course, that's the main characteristic of Brian Molko, he's been wearing make up since like forever.
A lot of you heard this song on the promo for this year's match, but I heard it back a few months ago, when they rebroadcasted WrestleMania XXV on NBC. They were doing a video package before the match highlights started, and this was a song they used.
2021 still love it!

Are you in love with commas?
It's feeble compared to Kate's original
I love the original, but this version gives me the chills. It is a stunning cover.
i looove this song... i cant stop listening to it...
